About Billie

Meet Billie, one of two lovely sisters ready for a forever home! These sweet girls have triumphed over adversity after being rescued from the streets of Gary, Indiana. Once emaciated and battling fleas and ticks, they are now thriving in foster care, where they've received vital medical attention, nutritious meals, and, most importantly, a lot of love. Billie is affectionate and enjoys cuddling with her sister. At first, she might greet new friends with some cautious barks, but soon enough, she’s happily soliciting pets. These girls are inseparable—they spend their days playing tug-of-war, wrestling, and keeping each other entertained. They're social with other dogs in their foster home and have even warmed up to the resident cat after a careful introduction. Currently, they're mastering potty training and are making great progress. With regular outdoor breaks, their accidents are minimal. Plus, they are crate trained and motivated by food, which makes learning new skills a breeze. With the right guidance and consistency, Billie and her sister are set to become wonderful family companions. Ready to welcome two loving pets into your life? These sisters are excited to bring joy, laughter, and unconditional love to a forever family. Could that family be yours?
